If you're losing the battle against a persistent bad habit, an addiction, or a temptation, and you're stuck in a repeating cycle of good intention-failure-guilt, you will not get better on your own. You need the help of other people. Some temptations are only overcome with the help of a partner who prays for you, encourages you, and holds you accountable.

God is looking for people to use, and if you can get usable, he will wear you out. The most dangerous prayer you can pray is this: 'Use me.'

Frankness is not a license to say anything you want, wherever and whenever you want. It is not rudeness.

Nothing works perfectly. The weather doesn't work perfectly. Because of sin in the world, nothing works perfectly. But in spite of that we can find comfort. We can find strength.

It’s not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters.

Remember that your character is the sum total of your habits.

There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.
